A Week of WondersCommunity News | 08:15 | Pappy-RSome items have hit the pages of Wolfmap while my attentions were drawn away, so make sure to stop by for full cruise of the latest and greatest files for RtCW and W: ET. Here's some prime examples of what you'll get:

Ambush (Beta 3): The Allies are attempting to steal the radar components. The Axis must guard their two radars and prevent the Allies from escaping with any stolen parts.

Erdenberg (Beta 1): The axis are holding a small town of Erdenberg as one of their headquarters. With the power of two Flak88 cannons they are stopping the allies on moving further in the field. The allies are now sending a special crew to disable the enemy weapons in order to continue their battle.

Speedrun Lava v1.1.0: You have found yourself in, what seems to be, hell. You're only way to escape is by locating and using the teleport device.

Museum Sniper (Part 1):It's a big museum with six different dioramas. All dioramas are made by some UJE-Clan members. You can snipe from all sorts of snipe dioramas. Crossing is impossible. Locations: Desert, Boxing Ring, French Style, Warehouse, House & Space

TJmod 1.6.5: "Fixed the bugs in 1.6.4 + some more, ob detection (TJ_drawob 1), and some div stuff.. It should also run on Linux this time."

More from the Floor (of QuakeCon)Community News | 08:06 | Pappy-RThere was some Wolfenstein talk at this years QuakeCon, but only in the obscure sense of how it will happen if it happens. Since the Zenimax purchase of id Software, some changes have come into play and one is that id will develop their own games from their IP's. No more farming them out to studios like Raven. Another little nugget that came out this weekend is that id Tech 5, the engine behind the upcoming Rage title will not be licensed out to other developers and kept in the ZeniMax family. Check out this Todd Hollenshead Interview at VG247 for more.

ReveilleCommunity News | 07:57 | Pappy-RIt's nice to be getting back into a more normal schedule after last weekend. I had a lot more going on that just QuakeCon 2010, so saying things were chaotic would be an understatement. The flow from the event is still going and I'm still getting video in from one of the guys that covered it for us. It's going to be crazy around here today, but a good kind of crazy where stuff gets done! So let it be written, so let it be done.

Mionix NAOS 5000 Mouse ReviewCommunity News | 06:27 | Pappy-RIf you're waiting for the action to get cranking at the big event in Dallas, then spend a couple minutes checking out my Mionix NAOS 5000 Mouse Review! That's right, they sent me a new toy and I ran it through its paces and gave it a good going over. This one is sexy looking that's for sure, but you'll have to read the review to see if it's worth your hard earned gaming dollars.

This is one sexy looking mouse, in or out of the box. Not that that matters at all. If a mouse felt right, moved well and had the accuracy I crave I'd use it if it looked like a plastic dog turd. I'd use it if it looked like Mel Gibson, although I'd prefer Mel Brooks if it came down to my favorite Mel or anything. The mouse has a meaty, yet flowing look that you can tell was made for the complicated piece of machinery that is the human hand. (More)
